Criminal Defense FAQ
Do I Need a Criminal Lawyer if I Plan to Plead Guilty?
Yes. Regardless of whether you plan to plead guilty or not guilty, you have rights that need to be protected by an experienced lawyer. The criminal legal process can be complex and stressful, so it’s important to have someone on your side to guide you through to the completion of your case and pursue the best possible outcome for your situation.
I’ve Been Arrested. Should I Talk to the Police?
No! The police are not your friends, and trying to talk your way out of custody is not going to work. The best thing you can do in this situation is to politely (but firmly) decline to answer any questions until you’ve contacted an attorney. The Fifth Amendment exists to give you the right to remain silent, so make sure you exercise that right.
What's the Difference Between a State Crime and a Federal Crime?
Crimes may be prosecuted at either the state or federal level. If you commit a violation of a state law here in Florida, your case can be prosecuted within the state court system. Federal crimes, no matter where they are committed, are crimes against the laws of the entire country. These crimes are pursued in the Federal court system by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
How to Find a Criminal Defense Lawyer

Here are some steps that you should take when looking for a Miami defense attorney:
- Ask around - talk with family and friends for referrals or search online reviews to get an idea of which lawyers in your area have good reputations.
- Research the attorneys’ credentials – make sure they are licensed to practice law within Florida and that they specialize in criminal defense law.
- Choose two or three attorneys that match your criteria – look into their backgrounds and success rates on similar cases as yours before making your final decision.
- Schedule a consultation – this is an opportunity for both you and the attorney to discuss your case, ask questions, and get an understanding of how they will approach it going forward so that you can determine if it’s a good fit for both parties involved.
- Make sure you understand what fees/costs are associated with hiring legal representation – discuss them thoroughly with potential attorneys before making any commitments so there are no surprises down the line when it comes time to pay for services rendered.
